Reese’s Miniature Cups with Pretzels

Believe it or not, this product is labeled gluten free.

According to the Hershey’s website all Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, except seasonal shaped items, are gluten free.

From the label ingredient list, I’d guess the pretzels are made with brown rice flour, potato starch, and cornstarch.

I found the 2.1 oz bag at Dollar Tree.

Also available in Big Cup size.

Bibibop Asian Grill

100% GF Multiple locations

Bibibop is now 100% Gluten-Free

They have multiple locations in the Cleveland area including Pinecrest, Cedar Center, University Circle, Crocker Park, Westgate and Strongsville Town Center. Also locations in Ohio and other states.

Bibibop also has a catering menu.

At the restaurant you build your own bowl with a base of rice, sweet potato noodles, and/or salad. Add your choice of grilled beef, chicken or tofu and a variety of fresh vegetables. Finish with Asian-inspired sauces.

In addition to the online menu items, in the store there was cauliflower rice base and teriyaki mushrooms available for an additional charge.

They celebrate Meatless Mondays with a discount on veggie and tofu bowls.

I enjoyed a veggie filled tofu bowl with teriyaki dressing on a recent Monday. I look forward to returning soon to try something else. So many possibilities!

In these unusual times a physical get-together is not the normal. Let’s connect through Zoom using your computer, tablet or cell phone.

How’s everyone coping? Difficulty finding gluten free food? Great new recipes? Take-out options? As the public meeting places begin to open up, share your experiences of shopping, working, congregating, and managing the new normal!

Trying to get some of those extra holiday pounds off? Wondering how you can do it gluten free? We can help.

We’ll “meet” on Tuesday, February 2, 2021 at 7 p.m.

RSVP and we’ll send you a link to join. Check your email the day before the meeting.

If you have questions or need help before then contact a mentor.
